Everytime I read one of Tia's books I say it's the best one yet, but I think this may be the best one yet. I mean, hello it's Derek. But we also do get some Patrick and Stuart, and even a dash of Slayde. So how can you go wrong with that? You can't. Simply put, TIA did no wrong in my eyes. And neither did Derek.

I love Derek and Melissa's love story. I think it's such a story of triumph and strength and how true love heals. And when she took that major step, I was so mad at her. He was keeping his promise to protect her, and their son too. I was just so mad. How could she. How could TIA do this to them!?!

I will tell you this. There is a scene in this book where I'm already on pins and needles and Tia scared the EVER LOVING SHIT OUT OF ME! Literally I moved even further to the edge of my seat, she just flipped the book on its ass!

This book has such a sense of family. Proving that family isn't determined by blood but by love. And that no matter what, you go to war for your family.

Such a good book. TIA nailed it for me, even if I was mad at Melissa for so long. 4.5 stars from me
